With her Emmy win tonight, Lizzo is halfway to an EGOT.
It’s been an exciting night at the 74th Television Academy Awards ceremony, which took place Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. From Amanda Seyfried’s Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series win for her portrayal of crooked medical entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes in Elizabeth Meriwether and Hulu’s The Dropout to Jennifer Coolidge’s well deserved Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series win for her work on Mike White and HBO’s The White Lotus, excitement is in the air.
Tonight, pop superstar and national treasure Lizzo nabbed an Emmy for her reality series, Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls, dancing away with the award for Outstanding Competition Program. The celebrated performer has previously nabbed a whopping eight Grammy Award nominations, taking home three of them in 2020 including Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Traditional R&B Performance, and Best Urban Contemporary Album.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Serving as the host for the Prime Video series, the show centers around a group of 13 women who are all battling it out for a spot on Lizzo’s revered dance squad. Instead of the typical cutthroat storylines that most competition shows follow, Watch Out for the Big Grrrls instead takes a more wholesome approach, inviting the women to create strong bonds and act as sources of support for one another.
As for who Lizzo would be joining should she land the coveted title of EGOT holder, she would add her name to the list of 17 others including Jennifer Hudson, Rita Moreno, Audrey Hepburn, and Whoopi Goldberg. With a strong start, earning both the “E” and the “G” in just two years, we’re cheering Lizzo on all the way to the finish line with this one. Check out a trailer for Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls below and be sure to stay up to date on all the Emmy winners with our ongoing coverage.
